The Difference Between Melt and Pour vs Cold Process Soap // Brambleberry's Wildflower Shea soap kit

Today Cale and I make a soap scented with Wildflower Breeze from Brambleberry's Bohemian Blooms collection. I make my version through the cold process method of blending oils and butters with lye to emulsification. Cale makes his version using Brambleberry's Wildflower Shea melt and pour soap kit. See how the two soaps turn out!

@Jamari Arian Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !

[@DeanWilson]

From my experience with melt and pour. Any extra oils or butters you add will still be in their raw form just inside the soap. Because when the supplier made the melt and pour base, the saponification process already turned all the oils and butters into the soap, so adding extra now does not turn that into soap too. But it's good to try so you know yourself. Great video. Keep them coming.

[@JerikaZimmerman]

Hi Jerika & Cale, always enjoy watching your videos. I’ve been watching you for about a year now and have finally started purchasing “molds” (3D etc.) bath bombs. I’ve used metal and plastic prior to purchasing from BTMYYC. I’m finally getting the courage to make cold process soap after watching you do so many beautiful projects, so thank you for inspiring me.

[@denjackson]

It's so weird how soaping varies. I live in Ontario as well but I have to do my soap totally different. I made soap for a couple of years and it was always 50/50 in success. It took me years to finally get a recipe that works every time. I always thought it was because everyone I was learning from was in the USA and the different climates was the factor I was having problems with. But even we make soap totally different. I never put soap in the oven (I did once and the soap was garbage I will never do again). I do all my soaping at room temp (I tried doing at higher temp and always had problems). I am so thankful that we have someone here in Ontario who's helping all of us Canadian Soaper's. Thank you

You can also use a vanilla stabilizer in CP soap to stop the discoloration, to some degree, of the frag. oils or ess oils. You would use the same amount of vanilla stab as you would frag oil and add to CP soap together.

Use a wavy soap cutter for melt and pour 😊 Soooo much easier! You can even pre-cut the m&p and store it in a container 😉

I don’t like using the clear melt and pour bases very much but I’ve been able to create beautiful soaps with all the bases. I also don’t add butters just oils like hemp seed oil jojoba oil neem oil... I use that hexagon mold for goats milk oatmeal and honey bars comes out great.

As a MP Soaper, I can still design the top like you did with the CP Soap, you just need to let the MP set up a little. You do know that you can use MP Hemp Base to. Iv been a MP Soaper for 8yrs now. I believe MP Soaper are still Soapers You should have sprayed the clear with rubbing alcohol before pouring the white as the rubbing alcohol acts like glue

I am a total newbie when it comes to making soap. Could you do a video or explain what it means on different fragrance oils when it says it accelerates a lot or doesn’t accelerate etc. and how you know which ones are right for you to use for soap making. I just bought a bunch off of bramble berry to try and now I’m rethinking my decision.

[@carolmorante4476]

You can put all your m&p soaps in a glass vase and take photos for your website, it looks pretty in there. I like both methods! BTW you can unmold them after two hours, you don´t need to wait more. And it is better to wrap them immediately.

You should make the cold press just like you do now and then pour the clear melt able soap on top with the colored peddles to square the soap off. I think it. Would look nice

Hi Jerika, I always really love your videos, they are very informative and enjoyable. I have a question.

[@SONIEL35]

Love your videos, can you teach how the oven works for cold press soap. 😊🙏

[@iKit306]

It's part of the processing known as CPOP (cold process oven process). After pouring a cold process soap, you put it on the oven to force it to reach internal temperatures high enough to achieve a complete gel phase. The basic idea (tweak as needed for recipes) is to turn your oven on to preheat to a low temperature. Some people say 120, others 150, and still others 170 (all temperatures in Fahrenheit). Do your soap making thing. Then turn off the oven and pop your mold (presuming it is oven safe) into the oven. Some people leave it overnight, others only for a couple hours. It IS important to turn the oven off because you don't want to actually bake your soap. Some risks include overheating and cracking your soap or even a volcano so it shouldn't be done if using additives and fragrances that can heat up your soap on their own. Using additives like milks may find the sugars in them scorched. I would recommend Googling CPOP steps for more info.
